Introduction to Acrylic Painting is for those who would like to try the medium of acrylic painting. It is for the absolute beginner. There is no requirement for any background in drawing, though we will discuss how design, centering and perspective effects the painting. The focus of the five classes will be to introduce the student to color theory, supplies needed for acrylic painting, painting techniques and we will complete four or five small acrylic paintings.
Students will need to bring/purchase basic art tools - basic nylon brush set (packets usually have 3 to 5 nylon/synthetic brushes), 5 student grade acrylic paints ( colors -blue, red, yellow, black and white- can be in tubes or jar), 2 empty containers for holding water (one to mix colors, one for cleaning the brush), a roll of masking tape, one or two lead pencils, 5 or 6 small pre-prepped canvas boards, size 8x10. All of these items can be obtained from a Dollar Store, Dollar General, an art and craft supply store or big box store.
We will use a lottery to determine the enrollment for this program. Those who have previously taken this course can register beginning August 25. A supplies list will be sent with confirmations.
